The LTC
廬
1701/LTC1701B are the industry鈥檚 first SOT-23
step-down, current mode, DC/DC converters. Intended for
low to medium power applications, they operate from 2.5V
to 5.5V input voltage range and switch at 1MHz, allowing
the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or
less in height. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.25V
to 5V. A built-in 0.28鈩?switch allows up to 0.5A of output
current at high efficiency. OPTI-LOOP
TM
compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide
range of loads and output capacitors.
The LTC1701 incorporates automatic power saving Burst
Mode
TM
operation to reduce gate charge losses when the
load current drops below the level required for continuous
operation. The LTC1701B operates continuously to very
low load currents to provide low ripple at the expense of
light load efficiency. With no load, the LTC1701 draws only
135碌A(chǔ). In shutdown, both devices draw less than 1碌A(chǔ),
making them ideal for current sensitive applications.
Their small size and switching frequency enables a
complete DC/DC converter function to consume less than
0.3 square inches of PC board area.
